I think good manners can be categorized into several sub-categories such as gentleman-like manners. I think bad manners are ones that are culturally not accepted or generally considered as bad deed. For example, in Korea, it is bad manner to tip in restaurants Some of the good manners for cell phone usage are not talking loudly in public, not using cell phone while driving, and utilizing vibrate mode in the library. In both Western and Easter cultures, talking with mouthful of food is consider as bad manner. So opposite of this is not talking with mouthful of food. One should not make too much noise when eating as well. Knowing how to properly use the utensil is another good table manner. Most important party manner in my opinion is self-control. Sometimes, people have too much fun and lose control of them. Whether alcohol is involved or not, one should know how to have fun in a civilized manner which would not hinder other’s good time as well. I usually say “hi” to other people even if they are strangers, because greeting will have a positive effect on breaking the ice.try my best not to listen to other people’s conversation on the street, but it happens. I think in Western culture it is considered a good manner to hug or kiss another person in greeting, but in Eastern culture, it is not widely acceptable. I normally let people pass me when I am driving in the US, but when I was in Korea, yielding to others was a rare occasion for me. I think it is considered a good manner because I am giving up my position to benefit others .I used to use horn a lot when I drove in Korea, but in the state side, I rarely use it because it is impolite. Manners are important because it shows how well educated and civilized the person is. One’s manner for one culture might be totally opposite for the other, so knowing other cultures as well as prohibiting cultural biased opinion is what we should try to achieve.

each country has its own culture, traditions, and manners. For example, in Ukraine people do not say "Hi" to everyone they meet. In here, people say "Hi" and smile almost everyone they meet. I think it is nice but not everywhere. If I would do that in Ukraine to people I do not know, they would think that something is wrong with me. Also, the same thing is with hugging or kissing people when we meet them. In some countries is is embarrassing, but in here people hug when they meet. I think it is important to learn a culture before doing something. In all other cases, people should be nice to each other. And it is the best manner!

Manners are a very important point of our lives and the Education process is the one most important thing in our manners. Manners show that express you who you are... and as long as manners and respect cost nothing, there is no excuse for them... there are some examples of manners that that can show us that they are good or bad. Some of good manners are not leaving the table until everyone has finished eating, say hello to people you know or do not be late at a meeting, always hold doors open for people. In the other ways, I can mention it for some bad manners. Like for example, Talking very loudly about your most important personal information at in front of public areas that people they can heard clearly easily, not knocking before entering someone's room, eating a pet, if people don’t say thank you or please, impatient that the drivers don’t wait for older or veterans people to let them to finish when they are across the street and if the driver honk their horn to them. I think it’s a good manner if my cell phone is off when I’m driving or in the classroom or meeting. And not looks if talking on the cell phone for a long period of time. It’s a bad manner if someone talking or texting during in work. Also both some bad or good manners for table manners are like if you don’t speak with your mouth full of food that would be a good manner. If you did wave utensils in the air, that would be a bad manner. If you excusing yourself to clear the tables, and also wipe your mouth during your meal or before your leaving your table that’s a good manners to. Some manners for party is I can say that, it’s good thing to be on time at the party, to bring a small gift like flowers or may be a bottle of wine. Thanking them for inviting you and telling them you had a lovely evening. Well, it is very common to say “hi or hello” to a stranger. It is just a polite greeting. Sometimes I didn’t say hi to the strangers, because it bothers me if I am thinking that if they didn’t give a respond because of their strangers. Sometimes, I listen some conversation on the street if what is the most important thing they are talking about, even I’ll participate as much as I like. To huge or kiss another people is good thing if it depends on what kind of relationship, so yes I’ll agree. Manners are a good thing in every day of human life. For me, I can learn for different things with manners. It’s important to respect people and to help people. May be it’s a good opportunity to meet new people like to make a good friendship. Also it’s a good example to learn from them for some experience.

I think good manner is the ways, you treat somebody a nice way. Such as you behavior, your acting, and your respect. Bad manners are don’t respect people and have some bad acting with them. Some time I say ‘’ hi’’ to people. I saw on the street, or they say ‘’ hi’’ first. Because I think that like a habit. People always want to be friendly or they want to get to know you. So they say hi to everybody. I don’t think kiss or hug is a good manners. Because if you don’t know that person you is kiss or hug. It isn’t a good idea. You just say ‘’hello’’ or shake hand. But if you know that person and you kiss or hug that ok. I always let people pass when I driving. I think that is good manner. If you don’t and someone drives not careful they pass and change line very dangerous. So let them pass. When I came to America and know how to drive I don’t honk a horn when I’m driving still now. Manner is important because that is the way people know you bad or good people.

I think helping and making for everyone to feel happy are some good manners and talk badly of others, lazily are some bad manners. Saying not too loud, do not disturb others are some good manners for using a cell phone. When you have a party if you create to memories with friends so they never forget you and do not disturb your neighbor that some good party manners. I always say "hi" to people even they are strangers because I think it's good and I want to do that. I never listen to other's people conversations on the street. I think shouldn't be hung or kiss another person in greeting is good manners. You can shake their hand. When I driving in my car, I was very carefully so I did not people pass me because it will make an accident. Sometimes, I use the horn when I driving in the city but almost I never use it. Because you will an impolite when you use it a lot. Manners are very important with everyone because people can appreciate others person when something’s look well.

In my opinion, good manners are the way you tread or give others respect. Examples are thank you, excuse me, or could you please give me a hand? Many peoples have different ways to express their manners. For the Hmong people, you show respect by helping someone when he or she is falling to the ground. If you want someone to see you as a better way person you could try these. Never talk when you are eating, do not talk on a cell phone loudly in public. and always say thank you when you are receiving a gift. Another example of good manners are when your friend invites you to a party, you should show up on time and always bring some drinks or gifts depending on the situation. Having good manners mean you're a good Samaritan. Always say "hi" to strangers becomes they could become your good neighbors or your enemies.

I think there are a lot of think about good manners.First of all we should speak with respect for others, especially elders. Avoid negative remarks and questions which may embarrass others. To be late for appointments and keep people waiting is indiscipline and disrespect. Use ‘thank you' and ‘you are welcome' whenever appropriate. We should never fail to say ‘sorry' if we disturb people. Even in our personal and private lives they are important assets. It is good manners to thank people for a service, guidance or a gift received. Do not interrupt a person who is speaking, regardless of even if it is a casual conversation. Try to let them finish what they are saying. Even if you are talking over the phone, be sure to pause every once in a while inorder to give the other person time to speak. Never openly criticize someone in an attempt to put them down or to make yourself look better. Avoid gossiping. Avoid harsh words, be polite. Do not swear or use bad words. Profanity is a sign of an unchallenged mind. Hold open the door for anyone following you closely. Greet others appropriately even if you know someone well. If you are a man, you do not want to greet a woman by saying, "Hey Baby, what's shaking?" Instead, try something like, "Hello, good morning or evening," anything that would make you appear to have manners and good sense.Think things out before you speak, especially if you are a person who may be poor at finding the right words to say.Speak highly of your parents and teachers, even if there are things about them that you do not like. If you cannot do that, stay away from speaking about them at all around.I think if we do that we are very polite.

There are many types of good manners. My grandmother taught them to me when I was young so that I wouldn’t embarrass my family. If I am with friends or family then I won’t use a cellphone since it’s disrespectful. There are many different table manners that are all important. I don’t usually say hi to people if I don’t know them. It is not good to listen to other people’s conversations on the street since it is rude. I think it is good manners to greet a friend. I think it is okay for others to pass me when I am driving. It is not okay to eavesdrop on other people’s conversations. Manners are important since they show that a person is mature.

Some good manners are holding the door for someone who is behind you, saying thank you when someone does something nice for you and asking someone to help you rather than telling them. Some bad manners are interrupting people who are already talking, burping at the table, not asking anyone to eat when you’re eating and wearing shoe in someone’s house who don’t wear shoes in the house. Some good manners for using a cell phone is that when you get a call that’s important, you should excuse yourself before taking the call and if the call isn’t so important and someone is talking to you, just call them back later. Some good party manners are bringing something to the party and cleaning up after yourself when you eat. I feel manners are important so that people can learn to respect others.

Good manners are very important for me. First, good manners reflect the education of every person. An educated person will always have good manners. Good manners begin to be learned in childhood. A responsible family should educate their children to behave in society. It is always nice to get in contact with a person with good manners. Have good manners, is actually, to show respect for others and for yourself. Good manners can be seen wherever you are. At the restaurant where you eat, in traffic when you drive, in a class at school, in the discussions you have with different people, to the doctor, to public transportation, etc... A person with good manners will never be unnoticed and will always be appreciated in society.

I love this topic. As a waitress I have seen many people and their manners. Trust me, some of what I am about to tell you that you wouldn’t believe it. How rude can a person be? It is surprising me as well. I deal with good manners too, but first let talk about some bad manners. I am starting at angry yelling, throwing trash on the ground in front of you. Some people can’t wait for their turn and simple manner that they don’t have or don’t know about it. These once time I almost been grab by some guy because he was so impatient. I moved my arm before he touched it. I didn’t like it. But I can’t really do anything about it.

In my opinion, good manner are the way that people respect to the other’s right. Manners in different culture depending on the people believe are different. But, naturally people can feel and recognize good manner in different society and culture. Variety in cultures has vast spectrum in the world. Some societies are so beginner and some are modern. In many cases, facilities affect behavior.

I think good manners are necessary for every person of conscious age. Because the ability to behave in a cultural society is a sign of a civilized person. So, bad manners are boorishness, rudeness, familiarity. For example, to stand first in line without waiting for your turn. Or to rumble out on a cell phone in a public place. Or to come to the party without an invitation. Or when people say dirty words. It causes negative emotions. You should stay away from such person, because you do not know what to expect from him or her.

Manners are a human behavior. There are different for different cultures and people. It is important to consider. I don’t use my sell phone in public places, college, party and other. It distracted people. I switch it to silent mode. I think nice greet to people even if they are strangers, but kiss strangers people isn't a good idea. Sometimes I hear other people's conversations. I don’t like when people using slang. I never honk horn to people when I drive and always let people pass. Also, horn signal frightens people on the road. It doesn’t consider a good manner. Good manners are essential for communicate. There are greet, smiles, compliment, polite and tact are making new friends and leave a good mind about people.

I think are some good manners when you have good education and respect to another person an any place school, church, theatre in the street but some people speak very loudly and make too much noise special and public. The good manners for using the cellular phone is not talking loudly in public you can use properly and not abuse because some place have "no cellular" and some people no respect this advertisement special in the hospital. The table manner is self-control always when you take aliments. I do say "Hi" in this country is a manner of salute, in my country is different you say good morning or afternoon and grave her or him hand always right hand sometimes special close relative give hug and kiss in your face, when is stranger person and say "hi" I answer, I don't listen to others people conversation is not polite. I are driving carefully, sometimes I was use the horn. When you have good manners always receive one smile.

I like people with high culture, It is family traditions. People with high culture have a good manners. For example, in Uzbekistan people say "Hello" to everyone they meet. In here, people say "Hi" and smile almost everyone they meet. It is very nice manners. Some countries there are with hugging or kissing people when they meet with people. but in here people don;t hug when they meet. It is nice.Because it is bad for exchang of infections.Same piople kisses when they meet. More piople who kisses when they meet have very bad smell from mouse. It is infection. To many bad small from mouse has people whose kisses when they meet. I think if same manners are unhelthy we must stop these and don't use. it is the best for piople then only think about manner!
